Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A septic tank monitoring system for tracking scheduled maintenance, the system including: a dwelling; a housing being mounted in the dwelling; a processor being mounted in the housing; the processor being programmed with a first time, the first time comprising a current date and time, the processor being programmed with a second time, the second time being a future date and time with respect to the first time, the second time defining an alarm time; the second time being resettable to a new second time only between 1.0 years and 10.0 years forward of the first time when the second time is reset; and an alarm being electrically coupled to the processor and being activated when the second time is attained, the alarm including a light emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the light emitter emits light when the second time is attained, the light being turned off only when the processor receives a reset code.

2

2. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 1 , further including an input being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the input being configured to input the first and second times.

3

3. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 1 , further including a display being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the display being configured to display the first and second times.

4

4. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein the alarm includes a sound emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, wherein the sound emitter emits a sound when the second time is attained.

5

5. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 4 , further including an input being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the input being configured to input the first and second times.

6

6. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 5 , wherein the input being actuatable to turn off the sound emitter.

7

7. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 1 , further including a transceiver being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the transceiver being configured to communicate with personal wireless devices wherein the wireless devices can send the reset code to the processor.

8

8. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 1 , further including a transceiver being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the transceiver being configured to communicate with personal wireless devices, the processor sending an alarm signal to the personal wireless devices when the second time is attained.

9

9. A septic tank monitoring system for tracking scheduled maintenance, the system including: a dwelling; a housing being mounted in the dwelling; a processor being mounted in the housing; the processor being programmed with a first time, the first time comprising a current date and time, the processor being programmed with a second time, the second time being a future date and time with respect to the first time, the second time defining an alarm time; the second time being resettable to a new second time only between 5.0 hours and 10.0 years forward of the first time when the second time is reset; and an alarm being electrically coupled to the processor and being activated when the second time is attained, the alarm being turned on when the second time is attained, the alarm being turned off only when the processor receives a reset code.

10

10. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 9 , further including an input being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the input being configured to input the first and second times.

11

11. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 9 , further including a display being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the display being configured to display the first and second times.

12

12. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 9 , wherein the alarm includes a sound emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, wherein the sound emitter emits a sound when the second time is attained.

13

13. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 12 , further including an input being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the input being configured to input the first and second times, the input being actuatable to turn off the sound emitter.

14

14. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 9 , further including a transceiver being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the transceiver being configured to communicate with personal wireless devices wherein the wireless devices can send the reset code to the processor.

15

15. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 9 , further including a transceiver being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the transceiver being configured to communicate with personal wireless devices, the processor sending an alarm signal to the personal wireless devices when the second time is attained, wherein the wireless devices can send the reset code to the processor.

16

16. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 15 , wherein the alarm includes a light emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the light emitter emits light when the second time is attained, the light being turned off only when the processor receives the reset code via the transmitter.

17

17. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 16 , wherein the light is turned off only when the processor receives the reset code via the transmitter.

18

18. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 17 , wherein the second time being resettable to a new second time only between 2.0 years and 4.0 years forward of the first time when the second time is reset.

19

19. The septic tank monitoring system according to claim 17 , wherein the second time being resettable to a new second time only between 1.0 years and 10.0 years forward of the first time when the second time is reset.

20

20. A septic tank monitoring system for tracking scheduled maintenance, the system including: a dwelling; a housing being mounted in the dwelling; a processor being mounted in the housing; a memory module being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor; the processor being programmed with a first time, the first time comprising a current date and time, the processor being programmed with a second time, the second time being a future date and time with respect to the first time, the second time defining an alarm time; the second time being resettable to a new second time only between 1.0 years and 10.0 years forward of the first time when the second time is reset; an input being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the input being configured to input the first and second times; a display being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the display being configured to display the first and second times; an alarm being electrically coupled to the processor and being activated when the second time is attained, the alarm including: a sound emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the sound emitter emitting a sound when the second time is attained, the input being actuatable to turn off the sound emitter; a light emitter being mounted on the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the light emitter emitting light when the second time is attained, the light being turned off only when the processor receives a reset code; a transceiver being mounted in the housing and being electrically coupled to the processor, the transceiver being configured to communicate with personal wireless devices wherein the personal wireless devices can send the reset code to the processor; and the processor sending an alarm signal to the wireless devices when the second time is attained.
